Course Overview


Back by popular demand, 'The Big Questions II' offers a deep dive into more questions surrounding the purpose of life, our place in the world and the limits of knowledge itself. Question what you think you already know by attempting to answer some of the most puzzling philosophical enquiries, which have baffled even the greatest thinkers in the world. Students will learn why there's such a fierce battle between religion and science, but how the two sides can ultimately be compatible. Students may also look forward to using their debating skills in future lessons of any subject! This course is equally suitable for students who want to excel at their studies or engage with something more extra-curricular.
